I'll have the usual...

Nothing too exciting to blog about. We've been busy with kids and callings and such. The kids are growing, daddy is working, and I'm just keeping up. I'm always amazed when I realized that another month has nearly passed. The little man is now 7 -1/2 months old, weighing in at almost 19 lbs and now officially has 2 teeth. He loves food - can't get enough of any table food I give him although I'm probably not supposed to quite yet. He's rolling everywhere and starting to do the "army crawl." Here he is with my dad - I think it is hilarious will they first discover teeth in their mouth - he kept doing this for 2 or 3 days - love it!

Making dinner the other night Miss Peanut asked me if she could have some salad - I was tearing lettuce for a salad - but she wanted it just like this:

Officer's parents always bring us walnuts from their property when we see them - it was finally warm enough outside to start some more crackin'. Miss Peanut loves to use daddy's "noisy tools," and she sat out there cracking for a long time with daddy.

We've loved our backyard already this year - we're hoping the that the sunshine is finally here to stay. We've already been BBQ-ing - yeah summertime! Here is the little man -already driving in the little red; he fell out just after we took the picture.

I've realized that Miss Peanut usually doesn't get a lot of treats in the evening - she'll have a little snack then she goes to bed and mommy and daddy have popcorn or ice cream or whatever - poor thing, so deprived, so when we had a family night treat she said "wow, thank you." I'm pretty proud of her being for being so polite - most of the time...then we have our true 2 year old moments.

This morning we had yummy whole wheat waffles with strawberries, blueberries and homemade whipped cream. Miss peanut was licking the whipped cream and daddy pushed her nose into it. She looked up at him and said, "Hey...that's not so nice dad!" Then she posed for a picture.

I got a bike! Officer bought me a bike and surprised me with it for Mother's day. We just recently found a bike trailer/stroller to haul around the kids and we'd been talking about getting me one. I haven't owned a bike since I was probably 12, so I was really excited for the surprise and now to be able to get out with the kids!
